The descent

Le parcours The course

Canoe Kayak 07

This course of 7 km between Vallon Pont d’Arc and Châmes is perfect if you want to have a glimpse of the nature reserve of the Gorges de l’Ardèche, without doing the long descent.

A trip of 1 hour and 30 minutes of paddling, alternating between quiet and rapid parts, will bring you under the beautiful Pont d’Arc.

The passage under this natural bridge at the entrance of the nature reserve is a unique and unforgettable experience.

Do not hesitate to take your time for some stops to swim, pick nick, sun, explore…

Once you have finished your descent, no stress, a bus is waiting to bring you back to your car.
